TCM views menopause as a natural energetic shift of the physical body, mind and spirit allowing women to enter a new phase of life. This transformation from energy flowing outwards (to raise children, look after others etc) now returns inward allowing a woman to reconnect with her spirit.
It is a time of letting go and rediscovering oneself which allows you to connect with yourself and others in a more meaningful and profound way.
Balance Qi and hormones
In our western culture, menopause is rarely talked about or acknowledged and often denotes negative emotions, even fear, amongst women and men alike!
TCM can help you to manage this transition by balancing your qi and hormones to minimise negative symptoms.
Typically, women will notice a period of cycle irregularity or unusual symptoms suddenly developing such as insomnia, fatigue or weight gain.
From a TCM perspective, the yin and yang are out of balance; in most cases this means that 'water' isn't strong enough to contain the 'fire' so women experience sudden hot flushes or night sweats, emotional dysregulation and a general feeling of restlessness and frustration.
A combination of acupuncture, diet, lifestyle and sometimes herbs can smooth out this transition so you feel more in control. Since every women experiences menopause differently each treatment is individualised to address your specific symptoms and restore balance.
